No, the issue is that multiple ISDN devices are not distinct channels as 
far as Asterisk is concerned; they are all 'Zap/1' with different 
extensions behind that channel.

This is the same question as asking 'if I have a PRI connected to my 
Panasonic PBX, can I use hints for all the extensions on that PBX'. It 
won't work in Asterisk, because it's not aware of the actual endpoints, 
only the channel that connects to them.
